When Mo Rongzhan convicted Prime Minister Xu and everything was settled, he finally took the time to see Ye Zhen. (Translated by: Translated by WuRuoNiWuRuonovel website)
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen her for a few days.
He knew why Ye Yiqing hadn't left the Jin Kingdom yet. It was because he wanted to know what would happen to the Xu family. Yao Yao was in danger in Hu Guo Temple. Besides him, Ye Yiqing should be the one who wanted to see the Xu family's property confiscated the most.
Now the Xu family had been confiscated. Although he did not order Xu Liusheng to be executed, Xu Ji was ordered to be executed immediately for colluding with Qian Luosha to murder the princess. Xu Liusheng couldn't stand the shock and vomited blood and fainted.
Mo Rongzhan remembered that Xu Liusheng had once been his ruler and official, so he did not truly kill them all. Other than the unforgivable wastrels, he also spared the lives of Xu Liusheng's other sons, allowing their family to leave Jingdou and return to their hometown.
The Xu family's matter came to an end. If he guessed correctly, Ye Yiqing should leave with Yao Yao.
After nightfall, Mo Rongzhan, as usual, wanted to find Ye Zhen. Who knew that as soon as he got on the roof, he saw Ye Yiqing standing on the other side. He seemed to have expected that he would come. He even brought a pot of wine with him and looked at him leisurely as he sipped on it.
"Father-in-law …" Mo Rongzhan looked at Ye Zhen's small courtyard deeply. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to see Yao Yao tonight.
Ye Yiqing snorted coldly, "Your Majesty is in a good mood. It's the middle of the night, yet you still stroll outside the palace."
"I have my own plans, but I don't know why I am here." Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly, "It seems that it is fate."
What a shameless little bastard! What is fate?
"It seems that it is fate but not fate." Ye Yiqing's voice was slightly cold, "Your Majesty, please go back."
"When will Father-in-law set off for Dongqing?" How could Mo Rongzhan leave like this? He had to see Ye Zhen today anyway.
The corners of Ye Yiqing's mouth rose high, "Tomorrow."
Mo Rongzhan's heart tightened. Wouldn't it be more difficult for him to see Yao Yao after tomorrow? With a tap of his foot, he flew in front of Ye Yiqing.
"Father-in-law, did you have anything to do with the Xu family?" Mo Rongzhan did not immediately ask to see Ye Zhen. He knew that Ye Yiqing would not let him see Ye Zhen. Since he couldn't see his sweetheart, he would talk about business first. He had planned to see Ye Yiqing tomorrow, so he could ask him tonight.
Ye Yiqing snorted coldly. "How is it related to me? Could it be that I asked Xu Liusheng to allow his disciple to do evil things?"
Mo Rongzhan's thin lips curled into a faint smile. "This matter indeed has nothing to do with you. However, if you hadn't sent the evidence to the Imperial Censorate, how would the Imperial Censorates have been able to present the memorial? Father-in-law, just like you, I will not let off anyone who harmed Yaoyao. Even if you did not do anything, I will not spare the Xu clan. "
"So what?" Ye Yiqing's expression remained indifferent. "As long as Yaoyao stays by your side, she will be in danger. So what if you kill the entire Xu clan?"
Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "We said we would protect her."
"It's not enough to rely on others to protect her." Ye Yiqing hoped that his daughter could protect herself.
In the past, he just wanted to protect his daughter as she grew up. No matter what happened in the future, he would protect her. But in this world, who could accompany who for a lifetime? He was wrong. He should have taught Yaoyao how to protect herself instead of wholeheartedly protecting her.
Mo Rongzhan picked up the wine pot beside Ye Yiqing and took a sip. "Have you already sent Yaoyao out of the capital?"
Ye Yiqing originally wanted to grab the wine pot, but when he heard Mo Rongzhan's words, he was slightly stunned. "Why do you say that?"
"That little pervert is not here." Mo Rongzhan's eyes drooped. "And … intuition."
What intuition is so accurate? Ye Yiqing glared at him. "So what if I sent Yaoyao out of the capital?"
"I know you will not forgive me so easily. I have thought that if there is no Yaoyao …" Mo Rongzhan smiled bitterly. He dared not imagine what he would do if Ye Zhen married someone else.
Ye Yiqing said lightly, "You can still live without Yaoyao, but Yaoyao lost her life because she loved you."
Mo Rongzhan was speechless.
"I used to protect Yaoyao too well. She is kind, beautiful, and innocent. She has never met a real bad person. She has never asked me for anything except when she was 13 years old. She knelt in front of me and said that she wanted to marry a boy she met when she was a child. That was the first time she begged me …"
Mo Rongzhan felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife when he heard this.
"I have never refused her anything. If I knew that agreeing would bring her irreparable harm for the rest of her life, I would rather let her not get married for the rest of her life." Ye Yiqing said in a low voice. "Do you think I will repeat the same mistake?"
He was indeed not qualified to ask Ye Zhen to marry him.
Ye Yiqing stood up and looked at Mo Rongzhan coldly. "Yaoyao is willing to forgive you again because she has never tried to love others. She will go and see the world. If she still insists on coming back … Do you think she will still be willing to be with you and be your queen if she meets a man who treats her better than you?"
Mo Rongzhan's face was livid. It was not that he had not thought of this possibility, but now that it came from Ye Yiqing's mouth, he felt unprecedented … thrilling. "Father-in-law!"
"You too. Maybe you will meet a better woman than Yaoyao. At that time, you will forget Yaoyao." Ye Yiqing said.
"I won't." Mo Rongzhan whispered. He did not know who could make him love so deeply.
Ye Yiqing smiled faintly. "Don't speak too slowly. Let's wait and see."
"Where is Yaoyao?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"She has probably arrived at Hamu City." Ye Yiqing looked at Mo Rongzhan's livid face and suddenly felt much better.
Hamu City? Mo Rongzhan also stood up. When did Yaoyao leave?
"Your Majesty, it seems that you will not see Yaoyao today." Ye Yiqing said with a smile. "If there is fate in the future, maybe we will meet again."
Mo Rongzhan looked at him and said, "I know that I have failed Yaoyao. In the future, no matter what, she will return to me."
Ye Yiqing nodded. "I hope that you will have such a chance."
"Father-in-law, I want to know something." Mo Rongzhan looked at Ye Yiqing's back and asked.
"What is it?" Ye Yiqing had a good heart and was very willing to answer Mo Rongzhan's question.
Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "Is Ye Yisong really dead?"
"Are you still worried that the Ye family will be a threat to you?" Ye Yiqing asked mockingly.
"I only want to know if there will be people who will use Yaoyao in the future." Mo Rongzhan said.
Ye Yiqing snorted. "Then you can rest assured. Ye Yisong is already dead. Not everyone can come back to life."
